Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] ipconfig: Create /proc/net/ipconfig directory

To allow ipconfig to report IP configuration details to user space
processes without cluttering /proc/net, create a new subdirectory
/proc/net/ipconfig. All files containing IP configuration details should
be written to this directory.
